AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Bonk' meme typically features comic-style depictions where characters such as Doge and Cheems are humorously hit on the head with objects like bats or hammers. This action is usually accompanied by a 'Bonk' sound effect and clipart indicating the impact.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Bonk' meme originated from a post on Instagram by the page snootboopes on July 13th, 2019. The post depicted two images of a Shiba Inu dog, with the second image showing the dog amusingly deformed as if hit by a hammer, which is edited into the image along with a 'bonk' clipart and sound effect. The specific sound effect used in the meme is from episode 49b 'Rock-a-Bye Bivalve' of the third season of the SpongeBob SquarePants animated series, and is also available in various royalty-free cartoon sound effect packs, evident in the links to YouTube and another YouTube source.[1]
